If you’ve smiled at your Spotify Wrapped, you’ll know what this means. OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Wrapped; its official name is Your Year With ChatGPT. It’s a summary of how you used ChatGPT across 2025.
This summary is personal and visual, and it’s a lot of fun.
As you move through the first few screens, you’ll understand this isn’t just about productivity metrics; it’s about habits, interests, and how ChatGPT has seamlessly integrated into the everyday lives of many people.
What Is ChatGPT Wrapped, Really?
ChatGPT Wrapped is OpenAI’s take on the popular year-end recap format that so many companies are now doing; other examples include “Year-In-Review” videos produced by Spotify or Apple Music, where you are shown how many genres of music you have listened to during the year, or hours of listening. It has created its own version of this type of recap, where the data shown is about your various interactions with ChatGPT throughout the year.
ChatGPT Wrapped will feel very light-hearted; it does not use any type of data dump. Instead, it provides insights, highlights, and creative ways of summarizing your interaction with ChatGPT for the entire year, which makes it easy to understand, easy to share with others, and fun to look back on your experience with ChatGPT.
To find your ChatGPT Wrapped, you can go to the ChatGPT chat window directly or type a command into the ChatGPT chat window asking it to show you your year with ChatGPT.
What Will You Find in Your Year with ChatGPT?
The ChatGPT Wrapped recap is about patterns, not the actual content of what was written, which is an important thing to point out.
- Total number of conversations and messages
- The most active day of your year interacting with ChatGPT
- Overall trend of activity over the course of the year
- An award given to your account as a reward for how you interacted with ChatGPT
- A short customized poem written about you and your interests
- Pixelated art related to the content you discussed with ChatGPT the most frequently
- The type of style or format of how you communicate or ask Questions
- Some light prediction about things you might be interested in during 2026
Your year with ChatGPT will not feel at all. You will not see any type of copied conversational prompts or message excerpts from chats we’ve had during the year. It is all about the insights.

Who Can Access ChatGPT Wrapped
At this time, only consumer accounts have access to ‘ChatGPT Wrapped’.
This is how users can access it:
- Available to Free, Plus, and Pro tier users
- Requires the user to have chat history turned on and saved memory settings enabled
- Must have a minimum activity level
- Not available to Team, Enterprise, or Education accounts
- Available only to users located in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, and New Zealand, reported TechCrunch.
Therefore, it is clear that this feature was designed solely for individual users & not for business use.
Why OpenAI Built This Feature
OpenAI created this feature not only for fun but also as an indication that a change has occurred.
ChatGPT began as a tool, and now it is becoming a way of life for people. By showing what the user leaned on ChatGPT most, when they leaned on ChatGPT the most, and how the user has evolved their interaction with ChatGPT, they are subtly reinforcing that ChatGPT was indeed part of their year.
This also helps to increase user engagement and retention. Spotify has been leveraging that for years. Being able to share your Wrapped experience provides people with the opportunity to share their story and have a positive perception of themselves. OpenAI is tapping into the very same behavior, but in a more subtle way.
Privacy Was Clearly a Priority
OpenAI has made a good choice regarding its privacy policy. For ChatGPT wrapped, the use of metadata rather than the content of the conversation means that it assesses the frequency of use, the timing of use, and the types of topics clustered together, but there are no visible prompts or responses to this assessment.
The feature is optional rather than automatic. You have to actively choose to see it.
The design of this feature (not appearing without your request), helps to build user trust in OpenAI at a time when users are experiencing heightened awareness of how AI collects and processes user data.
Why is this important when considering the future growth of AI technology?
The trend of ChatGPT wrapped falls in line with a bigger trend of AI tools evolving into personal products, rather than simply utilities.
Separating the consumer and enterprise strategies concerning how you incorporate and utilize this feature also aligns perfectly with a consumer’s desire for connection and insight, while at the same time providing an enterprise the necessary tools for assessing control and compliance.
By releasing the ChatGPT Wrapped feature before the end of the year, OpenAI has been able to dominate and lead the conversation in this area, as several other AI platforms are launching similar summary features, but timing is everything.
First impressions last.
What Comes Next
OpenAI has yet to announce a global rollout date; however, it seems as though there may be an impending expansion. Currently, the release feels like it is in a beta testing phase.
If the response from the users is positive, then it’s likely that ChatGPT Wrapped may become an annual event, where the general public can expect something new every year, just like they would anticipate Christmas each year.
The possibilities of how A.I. will impact our daily lives continue to evolve, and this alone reflects how the way we as humans interact with AI, has changed.
In Conclusion
ChatGPT Wrapped has an extremely simplistic yet very sentimental, yet very human-like design. There isn’t an attempt made to force feed the end-user with way too much information; it reflects what and who you are.
It’s amazing to think about just what ChatGPT has become from that original idea of creating just another messaging bot.
If OpenAI is able to continue developing great features such as this and provide opportunities for individuals to become more engaged with the product, ChatGPT will eventually feel less like a tool that you just use; rather it will feel more like a product that is continually growing along with you. ChatGPT Wrapped is indicative of this progression, and when you compare this kind of feature with how other AI platforms are growing, like in the Gemini vs ChatGPT growth race, it highlights how innovations can shape long-term user habits and competition in the AI space.
